Superintendent highlights facility updates, SNU partnership and district improvements
Summary
The superintendent reported on end-of-year activities, ongoing facility projects (track work, west-side parking lot paving, sidewalk work by the city), a restriping donation from DirectTraffic Control Incorporated, and continuing facility-sharing talks with SNU.
In the superintendent's end-of-year report, district leadership summarized recent graduations and year-end activities and outlined several facilities and partnership updates.
The superintendent commended principals and staff for graduation and noted an addition to the ceremony that highlighted student fine-arts performances. District facility work scheduled for this summer includes updating the Hall of Honor display (to be placed in front of concession stands), track work focused on pad work and visitor space across the field (with no set bleacher plans at this time), and paving the west-side parking lot.
The superintendent said the City of Bethany plans sidewalk work around the campus this summer; that work "could linger into the school year" because of engineering and permitting processes, and the city has been communicating with the district about the timing and affected intersections. The superintendent thanked Jeremy Fields and his employer, DirectTraffic Control Incorporated, for restriping parking lots across the district at no charge.
On partnerships, the superintendent said recent conversations with SNU have led to a stronger relationship, and district and SNU leaders have agreed to continue sharing facilities. The superintendent said high-school soccer games will be played at the football stadium "for the foreseeable future," which the superintendent characterized as an upgrade for home soccer games. The superintendent also acknowledged Larry DeKinder for years of service to the Bethany Public Schools Foundation.
The report was informational; no votes were taken on the outlined facility work or partnerships during the meeting.
